What is the purpose of asking questions about the origin and end of this world? What is the askance about origin of our being and purpose of asking questions about Allah and His ultimate existence?

The reason of having these questions and wanting an answer for them is actually a blessing and not overthinking. It is not troubling to find out about our creator or read about religion. I believe this is the first step if any, in the direction of having a true understanding [if Allah wills]. I ask Allah to give me the power through my words to be able to write a nice and logical answer to this question which can open hearts, Ameen.

Question: Is God everywhere and is found in a person’s heartbeat and in the flowers and in mountains?

This is a question which probably makes sense in many people’s mind. When a person believes in humanity as it is seen and felt, they start to believe in God as a human as well or anything which gets to the human eye and seem to be perfect let’s say any visible thing. Whereas, another question comes to mind that no doubt these things are beautiful and have an allure of attention towards them, but why then they are flawed? Why then they wither or die? Or even crack in case of mountains? Which gives rise to the seemingly hidden question i.e. Is God imperfect then? That gives rise to a contradiction again. How come human beings and this universe as a whole is perfect which are a design and a pattern of full accuracy and beauty? These facts do make one think and think reasonably. God cannot be these things neither does He reside in them. He must have a full existence and He cannot be like anything anyone has ever seen. He is the perfect one.

لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ

{Nothing resembles Him (Allah) in any way}

Al-Shura: 11

Only He can define Himself and only He has the power to create everything out of nothingness. This is the reason why we believe in Him and have a conviction that He can make or break as He wills. As He is our perfect creator so He is all-wise and all-knowing as well and this is the reason why we entrust Him and whether or not we understand, we know that it is from Allah and it will make sense when the end comes near.

May Allah grant us the true understanding of our religion and May He help us in all the walks of life so that we never slip. Ameen.

I have been wondering from quite a lot of time now what is fear? Who are we afraid of? & Why? Sometimes we are afraid of petty things which are insignificant in nature like losing an important entity and other times we are not afraid of much bigger things like death itself. It maybe because we just want to believe that its an unimportant matter or who knows what and when will it happen? We just push it in that part of our brain where we believe that all the good that I am doing today , I will be rewarded for that. Which makes complete sense and it is a very sane notion.

As a Muslim though, I have to take it a step further by saying that one will be rewarded and punished based on one’s faith and that if I really believed that Allah SWT will be judging them because of the belief and just by listening to these ayahs today, I got an idea what should we really be afraid of?

May Allah make us among those who truly believe and not make us amongst the hypocrites. For Allah is the only one who is most Higher in power and in mercy. Ameen.

From the last few days, I have been thinking about the fact that understanding is a big thing related to all matters of one’s act. In life the most important thing is what understanding really is?

How is believe different from understanding and acknowledging different notions in life?

These are the questions each of us should ask ourselves. Do we know the way we practice both of these things is right or wrong? Do we seek knowledge for understanding it even?

Belief is a matter of heart. I realized lately, what we have in hearts is unknown to everyone and even to us at times. Even if we are doing a good deed, we might not be focused enough for its impacts and beneficiaries. What is in our hearts is eventually what matters because heart is our guide to stay focused. I always thought what it is like to think from the heart. Strange concept, isn’t it? It really is not that strange. Some things we believe in always doesn’t have to make sense for instance how continuous does our heart beat and we have no control over it but we somehow believe that it will keep on happening. This belief however is very strengthening and it doesn’t fall off easily. Sometimes it needs practically something’s to happen for us to realize okay, yes this can happen. A man died so, I can die too. If no one dies in front of us, we won’t believe it.

Reality is another name for belief.

In other words, what happens to us in reality it becomes our belief. At large, when many people believe in it, it becomes a fact. As a matter of fact, fact is an experience which is proven by many because the outcomes of the situation were the same for all of them. Is it really true though? There are rare cases as well. Odd ones out as well. Miracles as well. There is a reason those things exist apart from the lies. But, the real understanding is in believing of an individual. Each of us believe in a different level and we all perceive life as it comes to us by experiencing if what we believed in was even true or not? That is the reason why everyone has different beliefs and perceptions.

Believes are firm because conviction has played an important role in its making. A true believe cannot be altered easily as it either based on experience or proper research. Important thing to remember is, control over each and every one of our thoughts will rise to that belief. Which thought will we give power, will become our belief.

Dream, passion and motivation to do what is right and not what is easy is the task every individual should have. Some dreams tend to be only dreams because they are not followed also because they are not allowed by others sometimes. Believing in yourself is also an art. What we are is what we become.

I never understood this quotation:

“Watch your thoughts, they become words;watch your words, they become actions;watch your actions, they become habits;watch your habits, they become character;watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

FRANK OUTLAW

The meaning of this is however very much true. Life is actually a balance and it is a scale which requires balance and focus all the time. For if we loose even one bit, we kind of loose our track. It all starts with the thoughts.

Thoughts, thoughts and thoughts. Several thoughts goes across our minds during the day and even in the middle of the night. Sometimes we are aware of these thoughts , other times we are not. For instance getting up in the morning and thinking about how I will spend my day is a controlled thought. Whereas a dream and some thoughts that arise after a horrible dream, are not controlled patterns of a thinking process. While conscious and while being wide awake ,we can only talk about the real concrete thoughts and that makes sense as well.

Thinking is wanting. We move ahead by recognizing that this is something I really desire, that is why I am thinking about it. A dream comes true when this desire gets the right direction. A person who wants to be doctor , not only have to read books but also have to have a passion of wanting to know more and more about life about bio. It goes same with every other profession or dream. You don’t need to have a degree for your dream. You don’t recognition from the other people, they will automatically know that you are the best. It’s a deriving energy inside of a person which helps them acquire what they really want and at this point they have stopped thinking about the people.

Motivation to do what we want is important. We have to find something or someone who motivates us on the daily basis or even weekly basis or something we look up-to in order to keep going forward in-spite of all the hurdles and troubles which comes our way.

After motivation comes the action plan and we keep on striving until we have achieved our dream goal. It might seem to be a three easy step process but its not that easy. It requires hard work for sure.

Today, I was reciting surah Zukhruf in the morning and I came across some beautiful ayahs. By contemplating on these ayahs , I pondered over how these ayahs are an answer to the questions I have. Also the meaning and purpose they give to the reader. Following are the ayahs: Continue reading “A Morning Reflection…”→

A little poem for the way a girl should see herself and the way others look at her despite her contribution in making the world a better place.

Today you see me as an emotional fool,Yet you haven’t seen the courage, emotions bring..Today you have just made fun of me,Yet you haven’t seen the ways I have dealt with nuisance..Today you have made me afraid again of reaching the success,Yet you don’t realize my power and courage of getting back up..Today you have hurt me through another turn,Yet I smiled just because I know some turns have to be rough enough..

Many a times , moving with life , we get frustrated and tired. We get to understand that the life we are living isn’t giving us all that we desire. It isn’t pointing out exactly the things we want and making them reach our way. This disappointment leads to something known as frustration. Whether we want or not ,we do get frustrated at times in our lives. Every once in a while no matter what the reason is, life happens. It won’t be wrong to say that sometimes life is a little bit unfair. Although it will also be no wrong to say that life balances out on other times and makes up for our bad times. Life does make sense.

To eradicate the building of negative thoughts inside of us , we all need some peace of mind. This is why Muslims pray, it gives us the motivation to stay positive and it gives us the hope. The connection with Allah subhana wa taala is a very important connection. To realize its importance is only through one way and that is consistent prayer. How can praying remove the negative thoughts? Sometimes we are so down that we complain even in our prayer! Well, that’s the whole point when I see it ,praying helps us talk our mind out to someone who helps us in a way we need to be helped. Isn’t it beautiful? Isn’t it what we all want , for someone to see our situation and then maybe work around with it for our sake. I think this is what we all want at times. It is also a beautiful reminder that the controlling power is the supreme power of Allah and at the end we always ask Him for assistance.

Situations are good and bad but wherever we are, we must pray.

Prayer is the contentment of soul and mind.

It is a gateway out of the negative thoughts.

It keeps us consistent and sharp.

It disciplines us.

It guides our shame and essence of knowledge.

It gives us humbleness in all that we do.

It directs us to our destination.

It helps us gain motivation and consciousness to do the right thing at the right time.

Pray right to stay right.
May Allah help us all to pray and to complete our prayer and acknowledge the importance of praying, consistently. Ameen.

Assalam u alaikum wr wb,Hope is a small word yet it contains meanings of a mountain. To lead this life however hope is very important. The important question is what makes this beautiful positive hope? The question needs an answer and a proper one. We all talk about the goodness of hearts and what it means to stay positive and firm in our decisions. Although we keep on forgetting the how part of this question! We keep on mitigating our belief by practicing very less amount of what positive we are saying or even thinking.
